Directors of the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency have made it official: Placer voters won’t be asked next year to approve or reject a half-cent hike in the sales tax.

Instead, the PCTPA board members will consider taking the tax increase proposal to the voters in 2010.

Recent polling conducted for the PCTPA’s steering committee showed that while the proposal appeared popular with a majority of Placerans, its chances of receiving two-thirds voter approval were iffy.

Raising the sales tax by a half cent for 30 years would provide upward of $1 billion for the county’s transportation needs.
